Love that blanket! Looks so cozy!!!

[@nikiwilliamson9629]

I made one of these blankets as a gift a few years ago and it turned out great! I enjoyed making it too! I love how you used three colors. I am going to try to make one tricolored as well! Thanks for the great instructions! Always love your ideas!

[@annarankin9103]

That turned out gorgeous and it looks cozy.

Beautiful colors Christina ❤ I appreciate these tips since I started a chunky blanket and never finished 😊 it Going to try again!!

[@jeannevellinga2651]

Would love to see the pillow video as thats more my speed financially and timewise. The blanket is beautiful and you did a great job explaining it!

[@gnomealone350]

I buy a lot of yarn from Michael’s and I NEVER buy it at full price. If you happen to be a senior, teacher, or military you can use those discounts (10 or 15%) on top of the on sale price. You have to ask for it though, and may have to show ID.

[@ginahernandez3219]

Thanks for sharing, Christina ❤

[@naturalcreations40]

That blanket looks so cozy

[@barb7014]

Thank you! 😊

[@studiowildbloom]

I made one in a solid color with another video from this channel - would love to make one like this too, Also, I’d love a video about how to make a pillow with this method.

[@horrisajones8933]

Very nice

[@user-nr2si2uz6u]

Beautiful! I’m going to try to make this!!!! Can you show us how to make a stocking using this technique?

[@rosalinddudley9420]

my parents are wondering why im sitting at my kitchen table with a ball of yarn crying

[@barb1161]

What are the actual colours called that you used? Thanks!!

[@marilynkornelsen5734]

[@scarlettkelly7255]

If I wanted to connect each side to make a sock like or a sleeping bag like thing say - how would I close it off? Is it possible in this stitch?

[@user-ny4ku4zm2s]

How do you make the edges so even. Mine don't look consistent.

[@jinnajim]

This is beautiful! How do you clean the blanket? Handwash? I would hate to ruin it, lol. ❤

[@musiclover6842]

Probably handwash in a big tub.

[@cynthiamiles2952]

You can wash on delicate cycle

[@melissahays957]

I have done arm knitting with this yarn and liked it, but it was much looser than this. Thanks! I can’t wait to try it. Also, do you know where your glasses are from? I really like them.

[@thediymommy]

I think I like this better than arm knitting now! Here are my glasses: liketk.it/4kxps

[@melissahays957]

Thank you so much! And these are such a reasonable price.

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

How many rows per color did you end up with?

[@jeffselman5563]

How many skins for a queen size bed?

[@jamies7374]

I have had the hardest time with my ends being so loose on this one. The middle came apart had to redo three times. I don’t know what I was doing wrong.

[@lynnholton2745]

I can’t find the written instructions. Where is the description?

[@vanessafarber3043]

How many balls of that yarn would i need for a blanket abut the size of yours please? Thank you

[@thediymommy]

I used 6.

[@vanessafarber3043]

@@thediymommy thank you

[@MS-ip1cx]

You can see how many in the beginning lol

[@jeffselman5563]

I have tried to make this blanket four times and have messed it up

[@marianne1959]

Holy cow! That is one expensive throw

[@soggiwater5354]

Semi helpful, but hands blocking important parts of the loop. Makes it harder to follow. After getting the hang of it, it’s quite easy. Just understanding the angle and the important part of the loops and knots is a little hard because of the pace and the hands 😂 otherwise wonderful.

[@thediymommy]
